Balzers Surface Solutions
Thin films that make all the difference

Surface treatment of tools and components decisively enhances their behaviour, performance and optics.

Productivity, efficiency or the famous first glance - in day-to-day business, these are decided by just a few thousandths of a millimetre. The full strength of Oerlikon Balzers' high-end surface treatments is especially apparent when process-acceleration is required, difficult materials must be cut, or when high-grade optics are important.

We use different methods to improve tool and component performance or optics:

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition)

PACVD (Plasma-Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition)

Heat treatment & Nitriding

Each method is carried out under vacuum conditions, which enables reproducible deposition of thin films with defined compositions and specific characteristics.
